Common Ground Project

Who we are

A regenerative farm and social enterprise on a mission to connect and empower our community through food and farming.

We exist to empower agency and advocacy by offering an inclusive space for growing, cooking, knowledge sharing, and ongoing community collaboration.

Grounded in regenerative farming, and in recognition of the urgent need for a more resilient food system, we believe that connection to land, food and community can drive real, meaningful social change.

2023 and 2024 have seen some huge additions to our beautiful space, with our new cafe and Food Hub now permanently on-site, as well as more program offerings and an increasingly bustling calendar of events.

We offer our farm produce online, at markets, through catering and events and food relief.

We aim to empower our community and strengthen our local food system.

We believe in immersive, connective learning experiences for children, young adults and adults.
